Gifts galore: Terra Viva Home & Garden
‘TIS THE SEASON – ‘TIS CHRISTMAS.
“Every year we say “This is our best Christmas ever” as we unpack the decorations ordered back in March,” says Terra Viva owner Peter Worsp. “This year we’ve surprised even ourselves. The range and displays are inspiring, and the customer response has also been brilliant.
“Being very particular about what we order has built our reputation for being a Christmas destination. Our main criteria is that the decorations we stock are different from those you might see everywhere.
“Each year we hunt out new designs we haven’t stocked before and, apart from a few ‘must-have’ standard lines, we achieve that.
The very traditional ‘been-around-for-years’ is also something we avoid so there’s no old-style red velvet/brassy gold,” he adds. “We also aim for decorations that, although new, will be easy to mix in with what you already have. So don’t expect weird and wacky turquoise/purple feathery baubles.” Christmas decorations are just one part (a big part) of what they do at Terra Viva, with Christmas cards, crackers, and Christmas napkins also featuring strongly.
Then there’s Terra Viva Café with its Christmas goodies that make entertaining so easy, and can be ordered in advance. Stuffings, gravies, Cumberland sauce, stollen, pâtés, bacon jam, nuts, salmon, glazed hams, mint gremolata for roast lamb, oat cakes etc. “Happy Christmas everyone!” from Peter and the team at Terra Viva.
